Autumn is in full swing and now is a great time to make a bee-line for your local park to enjoy the autumn colours.

Have you noticed the Raywood Ash trees this year? They are approaching their stunning best all over town right now. Also known as Claret Ash, they are a cultivar of the Caucasian narrow-leaved ash (Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’) that first arose in an Australian nursery called Raywood. Sadly they are now very rarely planted as street trees owing to their unfortunate habit of dropping branches unexpectedly...

Having said that, there are still lots of Raywoods to see.
